Passing gdal config options to rast

[ebolch]

I'm trying to use rast to access NASA Earthdata cloud optimized geotiffs. A NASA Earthdata account and a netrc file with login and password are required(Earthdata netrc setup script).

I've been trying the following, but seem to be getting an authentication error:

library(terra)
url <- "/vsicurl/https://data.lpdaac.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/lp-prod-protected/HLSS30.020/HLS.S30.T10SEJ.2021214T184919.v2.0/HLS.S30.T10SEJ.2021214T184919.v2.0.B8A.tif"
r <- rast(url, opts=c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL=YES",
                                      "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE=.rcookies",
                                      "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR=.rcookies",
                                      "GDAL_DISABLE_READDIR_ON_OPEN=EMPTY_DIR",
                                      "CPL_VSIL_CURL_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS=TIF"))

I am able to do this successfully with the raster and rgdal packages:

library(raster)
library(rgdal)
rgdal::setCPLConfigOption(ConfigOption ="GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL",value ="YES")
rgdal::setCPLConfigOption(ConfigOption ="GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE",value =".rcookies")
rgdal::setCPLConfigOption(ConfigOption ="GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR",value =".rcookies")
rgdal::setCPLConfigOption(ConfigOption ="GDAL_DISABLE_READDIR_ON_OPEN",value ="EMPTY_DIR")
rgdal::setCPLConfigOption(ConfigOption ="CPL_VSIL_CURL_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS",value ="TIF")
url <-"/vsicurl/https://data.lpdaac.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/lp-prod-protected/HLSS30.020/HLS.S30.T10SEJ.2021214T184919.v2.0/HLS.S30.T10SEJ.2021214T184919.v2.0.B8A.tif"
r <-raster(url)

Am I just passing on the gdal config options incorrectly? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. The GDAL configuration options were not exposed by terra. On linux you could set them with rgdal, as GDAL is a shared library, but on windows each R package has its own copy. I now get:

library(terra)
#terra 1.5.26

## options not set
getGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE"))
# GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE 
#                  ""                   "" 

## set options as "option=value"
setGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL=YES", 
         "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE=.rcookies",
          "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR=.rcookies", 
          "GDAL_DISABLE_READDIR_ON_OPEN=EMPTY_DIR",
          "CPL_VSIL_CURL_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS=TIF"))
 
## options have been set
getGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR"))
# GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE  GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR 
#               "YES"          ".rcookies"          ".rcookies" 
 
## reset to default
setGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR"),  c("", "", ""))
 
getGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR"))
# GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE  GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR 
#                  ""                   ""                   "" 

## set options as "options, values"
setGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE"),  c("YES", ".rcookies"))

getGDALconfig(c("GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE", "GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR"))
# GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE  GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEJAR 
#               "YES"          ".rcookies"                   ""
